Admission control and load balancing
First Claim
1. A method of wireless communication by a first node comprising:
- determining that at least one data flow is active for an existing bearer or a new packet data network (PDN) connection, wherein the data flow has an associated aggregation layer of a protocol stack of the first node;
evaluating an availability of resources at the first node to serve the data flow, wherein the evaluating relates to resources managed by at least one protocol layer that is below the associated aggregation layer of the protocol stack of the first node; and
transmitting, to a second node, a message indicating the availability of resources at the first node for data flows associated with the second node and for data flows not associated with the second node.

Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for wireless communication, and more particularly, to methods and apparatus to enable a node to be aware of active services and context for a mobile device in order to determine the load balancing and admission control for the services. For example, in certain aspects, a mobile device for managing at least one data flow between a core network and the mobile device may determine whether at least one of the data flow or a service related to the data flow should be reported and send a report to a first node based on the determination. The report may identify at least one of the data flow or service and indicates a packet data network (PDN) connection or bearer associated with the service or data flow.

11. A first node comprising:
-
means for determining that at least one data flow is active for an existing bearer or a new packet data network (PDN) connection, wherein the data flow has an associated aggregation layer of a protocol stack of the first node; means for evaluating an availability of resources at the first node to serve the data flow, wherein the evaluating relates to resources managed by at least one protocol layer that is below the associated aggregation layer of the protocol stack of the first node; and means for transmitting, to a second node, a message indicating the availability of resources at the first node for data flows associated with the second node and for data flows not associated with the second node. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon, that when executed by a processor, causes a first node to:
-
determine that at least one data flow is active for an existing bearer or a new packet data network (PDN) connection, wherein the data flow has an associated aggregation layer of a protocol stack of the first node; evaluate an availability of resources at the first node to serve the data flow, wherein the evaluating relates to resources managed by at least one protocol layer that is below the associated aggregation layer of the protocol stack of the first node; and transmit, to a second node, a message indicating the availability of resources at the first node for data flows associated with the second node and for data flows not associated with the second node.
